With charming hand-drawn art, an eccentric cast of characters and insanely catchy music, players everywhere will be touched by MacGuffin's heartfelt, relatable struggle to stay away from fire hydrants.

Patchwork Battles

It's a tactics RPG with a unique art style that looks like real-world crafting items (so characters made out of leather and foil that look like you just made them on the crafting table) and a turn-based battle system similar to Final Fantasy active battle systems. Patchwork launches in mid-May.

Patchwork Battles is a game unlike anything you've seen before. Enter a world where you control and battle mimics - animated beings made from a patchwork of cloth, tinfoil, and leather.

You are the scion of a celebrated family of Animators, skilled magicians who can breathe life into inanimate puppets called mimics. When you discover and unlock an ancient family artifact, you begin to relive and replay a legendary story of conquest, battle, and self-discovery. As you experience each battle between mimic armies in a winding and rich campaign of quests and adventures, you uncover deep truths about your family history and reveal the hidden power that brings these mimics to life.

A moving storyline, unique characters, innovative battle system, and gorgeous graphics make this ambitious game a feast for the eyes and a wonderfully deep experience for the casual and hardcore gamer alike.

GAME FEATURES

. Graphics that look hand-crafted from real-world materials: Enjoy a visual showcase of moving kinetic background art and characters that look made from life-like crafting materials.

. Your choices define your class, not the other way around: Want to play a fire-balling slinging rogue or a warrior who can heal in a pinch? Create your own classes with a unique customization system that lets you mix and match body parts from different classes.

. Reactionary Battle System (RBS): Patchwork Battle adds a new phase of reaction-based interrupts to the classic "move and act" battle systems of other RPGs. Dodge, counterattack, parry, or counterspell to thwart your opponent's actions. Or apply reactionary buffs to make your allies better.

. Item Crafting: Find crafting materials from fallen enemies and use them to create hundreds of items, including weapons, armor, patchwork parts, and patches to customize your mimics.

. Moving storyline: Woven into the Patchwork Battles campaign is the moving story of a young man questing to make his father proud, as told through the pages of an animated storybook.

. Battle against friends: Patchwork Battles also offers competitive multiplayer, where players can challenge others to see whose self-crafted mimics and mastery of the RBS reigns supreme.
